The Slacker Shake - a.k.a Best Milkshake Recipe EVER.

The Slacker Shake looks like fun to make.....it can't be said any better than this. All I need is a mixer and I'm set. I think I'll be saving my tastebuds for this after moving to the sunshine state late next year. So I'm gonna make it as a blogger entry as a way to remind myself. Ha ha.

Music Track of the Day: Ellie Goulding - Lights

This song has been constantly playing on heavy rotation for the last couple of months and there's still no slowing down UK sensation, Ellie Goulding. Her single 'Lights' has been holding steady on the Top 20 via B96 FM in Chicago. I have downloaded this and many others new MP3s on my iPod lately which contains the sounds of Bruno Mars, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ne-Yo, Enrique Iglesias, just to name a few....I look forward to Ellie's next follow-up on the radio waves soon, but I can listen to 'Lights' immensely for the meantime. Not tired of this yet. By the way, the music video shown in this posting is an amazing light show :-)

Rizz took some great snapshots of downtown Chicago while we were on I-290 exiting towards I-90/I-94 (Wisconsin). I decided to put these into a photo collage utilizing the cartoonify effect from a photo-edit program on my Samsung Galaxy S3 handset. Looks really cool! I like it!

What's up with no sun the last few days here in the Chicago suburbs? I wish it would return. I'm sick of cloudy skies already. This is why I hate the fall and winter seasons.

I try my best to make every day worth it, even at times I feel like I don't want to or just keep muttering to myself on how things seem to fare for the worse. The most challenging part is providing the optimism within when there are times of doubt and impossibility. I have openly admitted on my Twitter that I have been disappointed because I still can't reach that goal in finding a better job. I was hoping I'd find something towards the middle to late part of this year but it hasn't happened yet. Most of the failure that does stem from me is my lack thereof in looking for job leads. I've been putting most of my time and body on the line to my present job thus putting aside my interests and wants. It's been tough. I've been complaining and showing other signs of frustration which is so unlike me. And at times, I feel like I want out. Man am I becoming my own bad version of Dwight Howard who demanded a trade changes during the NBA offseason? And that's when I wanna stop. I do not want to let my bad self take over. I can look up to the A side of life when its going B right now. Its best to rely on my faith and let time steer the course on whats next for me. So now I've come full circle and shift myself to keep enjoying each day like I always do. Perhaps I should borrow The Lion King's motto 'Hakuna Matata' which translates to 'No Worries.' I know things will be okay :)
